The Scout Jolt Oinco.
Heretofore our facilities for doing job
work have not been the best, and we made
no pretentions in that line, but seeing the
necessity for a town of this size having an
oflice of this kind, we gave to the agent of
Palmer & Key, "this week, an order for a
complete job outfit, and hereafter wo will
be prepared to turn out, at an hour's notice,
any work that may be given us from a visit
ing card to a large sized poster. A full as.
sortmcnt of legal blanks will be kept con
stantly on hniul, and we will make a spe
cialty of line commercial printing. It is
doubtful whether an olllee of this kind will
pay, as in order to carry it on, has necessi
tated an outlay of several hundred dollars
and the employment of a specfal printer to
do the work. Whether it pays or not de
pends upon the support given us by the
business men of the town, and wo trust they
will bring in what work they have to do
and not send it to other towns. In addi
tion to the above wo also ordered a mailing
outfit. Heretofore it has taken one man
at least five hours to wri the names of
our subscribers on the papers. With this
machine the work will bo greatly expedi
ted. The Scout will always be found
abreast ora little in advance of the times,
and all it asks is a continuance of the lib
eral patronage heretofore accorded it.
A Snl (In Company.
The Ilocbcstcr Comedy Company c:;hib
itcd in this city last Wednesday evening to
a fair audience much better than they de
served, as their only object seemed to be
extract as much money out of the people
as possible, without careing much about
their methods of doing it. The announce
ment was made that the price of admission
would be CO cents and "." cents, but when
the people went to the door, 75 cents and ?1
was exacted. The Pendleton Oregonlan
says of tliciu :
"It is evident that one night in Pendleton
is enough for a poor "showi" Why respec
table papers should bestow praise upon
such an outfit as the late Rochester Comedy
Company, and thereby deceive the people
of neighboring towns, is a mystery, unless
on the principle that "iniscrv loves company."-
We think that one night in any town is
entirely too much for .such a show, and our
readers in llaker, Huntington, Shoshone
and Boise City will do well to remember it.
More .Shooting In Gi ant County.
From the News wo learn that a sliccp
herder by the name of Finley Mcltac, was
shot through the right lung by one Francis
I.cDIanc, on tl c range in Coyote Basin,
near Davville. There had been some dis
pute in regard to tho range, which was gov
ernment land and claimed as a range by
both parties. The young man was shot In
the right breast, the ball going through his
right lung and through his rignt arm which
was hanging by his side. Indications arc
strongly against tho boy,s recovery. l.e
Ulanc was arrested and placed in jail at
Canyon City, to await the extent of Mcllac's
injuries.
Smnllpox In Portland.
' Portland is seriously afllietcd with small
pox and a number of deaths have occurred.
At last accounts there were about ninety
cases in the city. The disease seems to
be spreading and is reported at Taconia and
Seattle, and is more or less prevalent in
several Willametyc valley towns. The
weather seems to be favorable for its spread
and in all probability it will be carried to
many localities before it is checked. Our
city authorities should be on the alert and
if there is any probability of the disease be
ing brought here, take measures to prevent
it.
A ltlg Holler.
The Raker Democrat says: "A 7o-hor.se
power boiler was yesterday loaded on a
wagon at the depot and started over the
road for the C. T. Bradley Mining Compa
ny at Sanger. The boiler will be placed in
positi8n at once upon its arrival at tho
mine and the mill Mart up ore crushing and
continue as in the past. The delay inter
vening since tho burs'tingof the old boiler
and tho receipt of the new one has occa
sioned the company considerable loss, hut
these accidents are to be counted on."

Since "ept ;trd, the opening of the UiVM'
public school, a steady advance in all
branches lias boon made. Oulet and order
have prevailed, Scholars have been ad
I led almost daily, until now the rooms-
four in number are crowded to their ut
most, about J0l being in attendance. Al
though the facilities of learning are very
limited, in the way of aparatus, Prof. A. J.
Haeket supplies the want by indefatigable
patience and illustrative skill.
A graduating clas is to be organized in
the near future, and from the progress al
ready made, It is safe to say the class will
be averagcly large.
There has been very much refined taste
exercised by the scholars this term, as the
walls are bedecked with cards, paintings
andjdecorations of all kinds, which all have
a tendency to lend pleasure and happy
resignation to tho monotonous hours of
study. The bare, white walls heretofore
seemed white and ghost-like, and left the
doleful impression that learning was a .sa
cred thing, and was to be surrounded fcy
bare, blank walls, like the temple of some
matter-of-fact worship. But indeed, what
a mistaken idea. The mind leaps exultant
over difficulty, amid the brightest bowers,
and tho bloom of intellect must needs be in
a happy and contented place. II.
Two K.-I!ov'ronils.
We are in receipt of a communication
from the ex-Reverend Clark Brailen, which
we publish below. It will bo remembered
that Bradcn was in Union a few months
ago, and conducted himself in .such S man
ner at the lecture given by Samuel P. Put
nam, the liberal, as to disgust all sensible
people. In thi,he seemed to have the co
operationand support of Rev. (3. M. Irwin
editor of the Eastern Oregon Republican,
who has since managed to get an "ex" pre
fixed to his title, also. But alas! the broth
erly love of these two worthies has been
rudely s.indercd. Politic and the tarilf
isMie caused it. Braden, it seems, during
the recent campaign, let up on his work of
soul-saving long enough to make a few
speeches favoring a reduction of the tarilf,
and challenged Irwin, who was in the Wil
lamette valley making speeches in favor or
monopolies, to discuss the issue with him.
They did not meet, but at. this time the
item that has aroused Mr. Rraden's wrath,
appeared in tho Republican. It is a mat
ter of no interest tons, and probably not
to our readers, what either of these wor
thies may think, say or do, and we only
publish Bradcn'.s letter in a spirit of fair
play. Irwin has a paper in which to throw
oil' bis hog-wush and Bradcn has not. Wo
always did like to see fair play, even in a
dogfight. Rraden's communication reikis
as follows:
"ax kx-im:vi:i:kni cowaish anii mail
A gentleman in Union has mailed to mo
the following clipping from the Eastern
Oregon Republican:
'Clark Bradcn, a peripatetic jawsmith,
who Imagines his vocation to be that of en
lightening the world, is now in tho Willa
mette valley spouting for the democratic
parly and claiming that free tnnlc is de
manded by common sense and justice.
Like a good many of hfs ilk his interests m
any movement is gagued by tho amount of
revenue it brings to his pocket without re
gard to the means adopted to scenic the
same. Such charlatans are a disgrace to
any cause they advocate. '
I was requested, by citizens of Sliverton,
Aumsville, Salem and Independence, to
discuss the tariff from a non-partisan stand
point, and did so. If the ex-rcverend edi
tor who was 'peripatetic jaw-smith' for
protectionists, in Oregon, asserts that I was,
in any way, invited, employed or paid by
democrats, either individually or in any
organization, received ore cent, cither di
rectly or indirectly, for such lectures, ho
deliberately and wilfully lies. Ho was
challenged to meet me in debate, and
backed out. It Is easier for ex-revcrends to
play 'peripatetic jawsmith,' and hack ratt
of debates, and take revenge by lying on
the man they are afraid tu meet in debate,
than to meet an opponent like a man,"
